- Description
- The article tries to engage with these linguistics paradoxes that are constitutive of the novel as they relate to the kinds of audience - and in particular the British readership - to which Chikwava directs his text. Some consideration is also given to the ways in which the novel can be said to function self-reflexivity as a comment on Chikwava himself.
